Glad you found us! Now, let's get to work.

It’s that time of year again: Time to crack those knuckles and get down to perfecting your submissions for the bevvy of 2016 playwriting fellowships and development conferences whose submission windows are open this month/next! I’ve been glued to my computer these past few weeks, working on creative, witty, and breath-catching artistic statements/mission statements/biographical statements/and statements about why I deserve an invitation here/there/EVERY-friggin-WHERE…

Yeah, no, actually I’m pulling my hair out like the rest of you, completely unsure if I’m coming across as a desirable candidate or just (heaven forbid)…

Well, allow me to throw another submission opportunity your way, intrepid lady playwrights… An opportunity that doesn’t require a statement – just an awesome short script and a willingness to take part in the selection process as a peer reviewer!

LBDI’s Female Playwright ONSTAGE Festival is entering its 5th year, bringing new reading and production opportunities to female playwrights! Submissions will be accepted (following the criteria outlined below) until November 15th, 2015. Participating playwrights agree to read and evaluate one another’s scripts in our unique peer-review process. Semi-finalists will receive readings in various US cities, with winning plays read in both LA and NYC before going on to production in Arizona.

Please read the following submission details before submitting—plays must fit with festival theme and adhere to festival guidelines in order to be considered.
